The comprehensively designed tool builds on Trisoft’s existing theatreman software, already in use in some hospitals, and allows staff to move away from cumbersome paperwork enabling them to manage both patients and resources much more efficiently – and importantly get more people treated in a day.

Updated functionality and features have meant that AQUA theatreman will enhance the management of the end-to-end perioperative workflow, all accessed from a modern user interface that greatly improves the user experience, ultimately helping staff to easily follow patient journeys and control the flow of information.

The summit focused on the importance of operating theatres continuing to provide surgery as efficiently and safely as possible to manage the backlog caused by the pandemic.
